AN ANIMATED MARKET.
The Best Feeling Exhibited at Any
Time This Weak.


NEW York, Mar. 3.--The stock market
was moderately active to-day, and with the
exception Of period Of weakness In the
afternoon, was firm TO strong throughout.
The interest, however, was monopolIzed by
few stocks, which were affected by special
causes, though the remainder also shared
in the Improvement.
The opening was somewhat irregular this
morning, but the majority were slight frac-
tions above last evenings final quotations.
There was more animation to the early
dealings than has been usual for the past
week, and the tone was generally strong.
In the last hour the strength again returned,
New England becoming prominent, and the
close was active and strong at or near the
best prices Of the day.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from 81 TO Al, last loan at 81, and closing
offered at 8. The market has been dull
and easier. Sterling exchange is shade
steadier, with little better tone and more
inquiry for bankers bills. Actual business
at 4S4i to 4s42 for 60.day bills and 4S71 to
ASA for demand. Posted rates 1851 to 1881,
Government bonds have been dull and
steady. State bonds have been dull and

Rich Soil for Early Potatoes
~ l~,sl-n rv,-,,,,-

The potato requires more expenditure
for both seed and labor than any grain
crop, and it follows that it should be
planted on rich soil. 1t is not safe to
manure late potatoes heavily with fresh
stable manure, as its fermentation in the
soil make Just the conditions in whic b
the potato rot fungus fourishes; but in
rich land from previous manuring this
danger does not exist. For early pota-
toes the land can scarcely be made too
rich.
The crop, if marketed before rot. in
even the most unfavorable season, can do
serious injury. Fresh manure is often of
great benefit to early potatoes on land
that is amply fertile to produce crop
without it. AS it ferments it keeps the soil
moist, which for early potatoes set during
the extreme heat of the summer Is point
of the greatest importance. Moisture is
apparently greater necessity in making
an early potato crop than fertility, though
| rich SOILS are apt to keep more moist in
dry weather than those less fertile. The
most successful potato growers partially
| insure their crop from severe drought by
subsoiling. This requires extra labor,
but the reservoirs of moisture thus stored
in the subsol keep the potato tops fresh
and green long after those on land sub
ssiled have withered from combined heat
| and drouth. Subsoiling is partial pro
lection against she potato blight. 1t
saves the plants from the sudden ex-
tremes of temperature which prevail in
shallow soils they being the most common
causes of this blight.

Peter Henderson, reviewing the
changes in floral fashions, writes in the
American Agriculturist.
Fashions in 2owers and the modes OF
constructing designs now vary consider.
ably from what they were formerly. Since
the rage for roses began, a dozen years
ago, it is safe to say that nine-tenths OF
the whole bulk of flowers used are roses
These are largely used in making up
bouquets, baskets, and all kinds of floral
ornaments for the table, and, in ma ior-
ity, these are made up exclusively of
roses, while for corsage boquets little
else is used in winter, and these often
contain as many as two dozen roses OF
one color. In the fall and early winter
months chrysanthemums are perhaps
used to greater extent than any other
flower. In the month of November and
December, nearly every other well-dress-
ed lady to be met with on the fashion
able streets ofNew York, is found wear
ing corsage boquet of chrysanthemums
and from their great range of color al
most every shade of dress can be match
ed except blue. All roses are now US ed
with long stems; III fact, since the use OF
loose punches of flowers has come in
vogue, replacing TO a great extent the
formal boquets and baskets, flowers OF
nearly all kinds that can be cut with
long stems, are so gathered. One of the
present fashions of using flowers for dec.
Grafton of rooms is, to select colors OF
flowers to match the furniture; thus, il
the furniture is pink, the flowers used are
as far as possible, OF that color; if of
orange or yellow, flowers of yellowish
tint are used; if of crimson, the flowers
as near TO that color SIS possible are en-
ployed, and so on.
Designs of every imaginable descrip
ton are now made of flowers shields
rainbows, canopies (under which the mar
riage ceremony is performed), etc. A
well known florist of New York inform ed
me that he has received $500 for the
floral canopy supplied for the marriage
of the daughter of one of New York &
best known citizens, and the flowers us ed
for the decoration of rooms in all footed
up $4,000. These are rare occasions
however, though $500 and $1,000 are not
unusual. The flowers for the balls of the

Farm Notes


Repairing the damages of last winter
demands attention FIRST.
Corn that is in the least degree affected
by rust should never be used.
Farmers are reported to consume $4,000
tons of Irvine per year on reef binding
haryester5.
Avoid strong food with your breeding
sows, as it infames the blood and pro-
duces a feverish condition.
Quit kicking COW simply by putting
strap in her mouth and buckllng 1t
tightly behind her horns.
If mounds were made around the base
of the trees to steady them Or keep away
mice, remove and scatter them.
Grass feed is not easily killed, and for
that reason may De sown as early as may
be desired. The main object should be
to select clean seed.
Branches that were broken during the
winter should be cut near to the trunk, q
smooth cut made, and covered with graft
ing wax or thick paint.
4 Western inventor claims that prairie
grass, ground into a pulp with corn stalks
and pressed into blocks, makes an excel
lent substitute for wood and coal.
Eggs intended for Matching should not
be over two weeks old. If much older 1t
takes longer to hatch them, and the chicks
are, as a general thing, not so thrifty.
Milk may be canned jast as you would
can fruit. Bring the milk to the boiling
point and fill your jars to the brim with
1T; then shut alright. This will keep
any length of time, and be just as good
when opened as when it was put up.
Some carefully conducted experiments
